Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has hailed Wolves manager, Nuno Espirito Santo for what he has done at the Molineux side ahead of Sunday’s premier league title decider.
The two teams square off at Anfield with the Reds needing to win to keep their title hopes alive while hoping league leaders Manchester City to Brighton.

“Nuno is doing an incredible job there.”

“What they have, the quality is big. What they have they created a style of play where everybody signs in, all the players want to be part of that style of play.

Klopp called on his team to put aside the success of reaching the Champions League final to focus on Sunday’s match.
“It would be a big football moment for us. Nothing has changed for us, we knew it before,” he added.

“Focus is not a problem.”
